For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
If you don't have muffin tins, you can bake these on a baking sheet as individual pastries, but watch the baking time.
These are great for using up leftover cooked ground beef or pulled pork.
Try adding some diced bell peppers or jalapenos to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.
